The 7 Planes of Existence

MEntity:
Hello to each of you. We are here now. We will share with you on the requested topic: The 7 Planes of Existence.

 

We know that most of you are familiar with the 7 Planes as they have been described in our teaching, and are familiar to many teachings, even if in slight variation and understanding.

 

Those 7 Planes are: Physical, Astral, Causal, Akashic, Mental, Messianic, and Buddhic (or Buddhaic).

 

Each Plane is a Plane of Existence, and is a definite medium for consciousness to explore, learn, and evolve.

 

These Planes exist one within the other, and overlap to some extent, with the Physical Plane being "in the center" and the densest, and the Buddhic being the outermost existence that permeates all Planes within it. It is often easier to imagine this as spheres within spheres.

 

All 7 of these Planes ARE Tao. It is often described as Tao encompassing these 7 Planes, and that would be fair to say, but technically, Tao IS those 7 Planes. The whole that is greater than the sum of the parts, if you will.

 

As you will see from our sharing of details about these Planes and their design, there will be a micro and macrocosmic consistency.

 

Keep in mind that when we use the term "consciousness," it is often inclusive of all forms of consciousness, and not specific to Sentience. In other words, consciousness exists in a multitude of forms in your Physical Plane and in other planes.

 

Rocks have a form of consciousness that is just as valid as Sentience. There are many lines of evolution of consciousness, and not all of them are Sentient.

 

The greatest difference between Sentient and non-sentient consciousness is in terms of the extent of fragmentation and "direction" that the consciousness is actively moving. Sentience tends to be the most individualized of consciousness (most fragmented), generating within that consciousness a profound desire for return to Tao, or Oneness.

 

Therefore, Sentient Consciousness is "on its way back" to Tao, and most other forms of non-sentient consciousness do not require such passages; non-sentience can be "absorbed" immediately back into Tao, if you will, and does not necessarily evolve. Sentience evolves.

 

In other words, Sentience is the furthest and farthest one can get from Tao in terms of fragmentation.

 

The return "home," then, for Sentience, is a long journey by most standards of measurement.

 

Passage through these Planes of Existence are passages of reunion and union. It could be said, then, that the 7 Planes are the 7 Levels of Tao, as Tao evolves in its own way precisely through the collection of experiences gained through these fragments.

 

Once one has become a Fragment, regardless of the return to Tao and the profound oneness that this entails, that unit of consciousness is its own thing "forever."

 

Drops of water in an ocean who leave no boundaries between themselves and ocean, or each other, but existing as an identifiable unit of consciousness now.

 

This is how "Grand Cycles" can happen.

 

A Grand Cycle is a single journey of separation from Tao, incarnation through a species, and the subsequent return through the 7 Planes.

 

Though we would have a difficult time describing this in terms of physics, each Plane is merely a variation of vibration of energy that is consistent among all Planes. Because of its vibrational state, it is "separate" enough that it exists as its own state. This would be similar to how ice, water, and steam could exist as the same, but different.

 

For simplicity's sake, we can say that all Planes are made of Matter (Energy), and each Plane is a variation on Matter.

 

The combination of what might be akin to molecules and how they function with one another generates each Plane. And differentiates each Plane.

 

The consistency among all Planes is based on a set of physics that is reflected in the Physical Plane in many ways.

 

Though there are a few places from which we could start, we will use your Carbon-base as the model.

 

We will return to this reference to Carbon in a moment.

 

First, we will state that every Planet has its own Physical, Astral, and Causal Plane.

 

Particularly if there is Sentience evolving on that planet.

 

Those Planes are variations on a theme, and each is mapped similarly.

 

For the most part, these Ordinal Planes are themed in Densities, Tangibilities, and Identities.

 

That is an oversimplification, but it is accurate.

 

The Physical Plane is these themes in terms of Actions. The Astral is these themes in terms of Emotions. The Causal is these themes in terms of Intellect.

 

The Akashic Plane is not a Plane in which any consciousness resides, but is a memory bank. Rather than passing through this Plane, it is central to both the Causal and Mental Planes' use for evolution. It could be said to be the ordinal version of Tao.

 

The Mental Plane expands to encompass what we will describe as a Galaxy. A Galaxy would be a collection of 49 Planets of Sentience in proximity.

 

The Messianic Plane expands to encompass what we will describe as a Galaxy Group, or 49 Galaxies that house Sentience.

 

The Buddhic Plane is relative to a Galaxy Cluster, or 49 Galaxy Groups.

 

Tao, then, could be said to be the Cosmos, or the manifest Universe.

 

From what we have learned, there are boundaries on our Universe, as there are other Universes.

 

We use "Universe" here in the sense of organized Planes for Sentient development, and not whimsically referencing different parallels or emotional perceptions. This is literal.

 

We know that each Universe must be a closed "space," if you will, as the patterns that are generated indicate interference patterns, indicating reflection. The patterns are far too consistent not to indicate this, as far as we can see.

 

Returning to Carbon as the building block, not only are forms within the Physical Plane relevant to the building blocks of Carbon, but so are all forms of consciousness born of, or returning to Tao through, Carbon.

 

Much of our own Teaching reflects this, as we use the dodecaphonic scale, which is a musical counterpart of Carbon, for most aspects of our teaching.

 

Our systems of 12, 7, and 9 (which are still systems of 12) are related to this dodecaphonic/carbon scale/ratio, and while there is not an obvious element of 5 in our teaching, it is built in on many levels, which we can expound upon at another time. For now, we will reference the 5 Soul Ages before cycling off, and what we refer to as Clusters (of lives) that are in groups of 5.

 

These numbers will be relevant for building upon.

 

We can return to them in further explorations with us.

 

For now, we will return to the details of the Planes.

 

The 7 Levels of the Physical Plane are the 7 Soul Ages: 5 of which are done before cycling off, and two of which are completed by returning as a reunited entity, and as a representative of Tao. All fragments will move through those 7 Levels of the Physical Plane (7 Soul Ages).

 

There are 7 Levels of the Astral Plane, as well.

 

As every Plane bleeds through, so to speak, to each bordering Plane, the 1st Level of the Astral could be said to be the Level of Imagination. This is from where each fragment accesses Imagination.

 

At its best use, it is what you are familiar with in terms of "imagination," but it is also where those who induce altered states through drugs can tend to go, as well as where troubled Personalities can often bleed into, and where suicides are processed, and from where hauntings are sustained.

 

It is the Level from which "heaven" and "hell" are generated, and other such nonsense.

 

The 2nd Level of the Astral is where most go between lives, and when dreaming.

 

The 3rd Level is where one resides when cycled off.

 

It is also the level in which one will complete any Karma that did not require Physical incarnation.

 

The Mid-Astral or 4th Level is what is accessed between lives by fragments as a means for planning and studying and review.

 

Even if one is on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Levels, this 4th is accessed in ever more refined ways for the evolution of the Essence, and creation of a life.

 

It is also from which one's guides tend to reside, and where your partially-reunited entity resides. Even if your guide is not cycled off, if acting as a guide, it is functioning through the use of this Level. Or, at least, trying to.

 

The 5th Level is one of Comprehension, and it is where your Entity members work through full disclosure.

 

Everything that was never known, kept secret, private, personal, for any Personality is now brought forth as the entity prepares for reunion. This is a chaotic and quite emotional process.

 

The 6th Level is the Healing, or the actual Reunion process. Though the more chaotic aspects of reunion have been processed, this can actually be even more painful.

 

The 7th Level then is the full union of the Entity, in terms of its Emotional intimacy.

 

The 5th, 6th, and 7th Levels are the only levels that are free from living counterparts, or incarnating fragments. The first three can be accessed fairly easily by Personalities from the Physical Plane.

 

The Causal Plane also has 7 Levels, but these become more difficult to clarify in terms that are easy to convey, as the linear aspect begins to break down, even as it does not.

 

The Lower, or Ordinal, Causal Plane could be said to be a process of refining our ideas and ideals.

 

Now that we have united emotionally, we then build a new identity from that.

 

Though "identity" is a crude term in the context of the Causal Plane, it is still valid.

 

This is because, even as we speak as one, we are well aware of our parts, and our differentiation from other entities on our Plane.

 

We still experience a passage of time and space, though in vastly different ways from what is familiar to the Physical Plane, but still a passage, nonetheless.

 

Over the course of the first three Levels, entities take different lines of evolution that are in groups: some of which are Guides, some of which are Teachers, some of which are Healers, some of which are Muses, and so on.

 

We chose to Teach.

 

The 4th Level, then, is from where every Entity of the Causal will put into effect its ideas and ideals, through Guiding, Teaching, Healing, Musing, etc.

 

From this Level, we begin our direct access of the Akashic Plane.

 

The Akashic exists within every Plane in some form. Even within the Physical Plane, the Instinctive Center is a line to the Akashic Plane, or a part of it.

 

The high Causal Plane, then, is from where Transcendental Souls incarnate, or the 6th Soul Age.

 

Transcendental Souls incarnate from the 5th, 6th, or 7th Levels of the Causal.

 

Keep in mind that a Transcendental Soul is a single fragment incarnated as a representative of the collective knowledge of the Entity from the Causal.

 

This incarnation is still subject to all of the scathing, distractions, and problems of being Human, however, but will have the entire Entity as direct support, if the Personality allows for it.

 

There are many Transcendental Souls who incarnate who fail in that respect, though they certainly "have a good time."

 

The Mental Plane is the exalted Causal Plane, where direct Intellectual contact is made with Tao.

 

The Messianic Plane is the exalted Astral Plane, where direct Emotional contact is made with Tao.

 

The Buddhic Plane is the exalted Physical Plane, where direct contact is made with Tao, or merging.

 

Infinite Souls incarnate from one of these Planes, when incarnated, and bring the Logos of Truth, Love, or Energy, respectively.

 

There are 7 Levels within each of these, but they are even more difficult to convey in any linear terms than the Causal Plane's Levels. It is easier to understand them in terms of Lower, Mid, and Higher.

 

The Lower tend to be about introductions to that Plane, and a refining of focus, with the mid-plane being the implementation of that focus, and the higher being the comprehension of the results of all of that.

 

We will pause now for your questions on this subject. We know this is a vast subject that can be difficult to package, but it is a subject that is relevant and can be comprehended.

 

Maureen: How “fine” does this get -- Do the 7 Levels of each Soul Age relate in any way to the 7 Levels of Existence?

 

MEntity: They are, all, related in some resonant way, or they could not build upon each other. It is all music.

 

The 7 Internal Monads within the 7 Levels within the 7 Soul Ages within the 7 Planes.

 

The 7 Levels of a Soul Age, can be understood when superimposing the 7 Planes as ways to understand those Levels.

 

Comparing the Physical Plane to the 1st Level of a Soul Age can be helpful. Comparing the Astral Plane to the 2nd Level can be helpful. Comparing the Causal to the 3rd Level can be helpful. And so on. Keep in mind that there will be resonance, but not definition.

 

In other words, clues and insights can be gained through these comparisons, but Soul Level is very different from Age, and Plane.

 

Our system is designed for "mixing and matching" as a means to gain more insight.

 

Geraldine: Not to put too fine a point on the terminology that was developed today, but I would like a reiteration or confirmation that the use of the terms by you of Galaxy, Galaxy Cluster, or Tao as a Universe has little in common with our scientific astrophysics use of these terms and that further the use of Tao isn't equivalent to “All that is.”

 

MEntity: There are some correlations. We think that some Astrophysicists are onto something in terms of organizing the universe. Consciousness equals Gravitation, to some extent. Consciousness is the gravitational force that holds together matter. Galaxies are grouped and clustered in terms of gravity and consciousness, and this is parallel to some working theories or observations.

 

Geraldine: Except you define these by groups of 49

 

MEntity: So while we are not drawing direct parallels to the more mundane use of these terms, there are some similarities that are relevant.

 

We think that some Astrophysicists choose the same number.

 

Though we do not think it has become a standard.

 

Bobby: So would our "Big Bang Theory" be an oversimplification of the Buddhaic Plane in action and is the theory even close to being accurate?

 

MEntity: It is quite close, at least in terms of the fragmentation that then moved into forms. Though there are scientific details that will always be lacking in terms of describing or defining these origins, it works very well in symbolic ways.

 

LoriA: How are suicides processed on the 1st level astral, and where do they go from there? [note corrected from 2nd Level to 1st Level]

 

MEntity: They are processed in a multitude of ways that would be similar to experiencing dreams that play out all varieties of scenarios that help to comprehend the process of choices that led to the death, as well as an observation of all of the parallels remaining that are not dead.

 

The Astral Plane is very similar to "Earth," or the Physical Plane, and feels very "real" on many levels, though it is far more malleable in terms of matter. Many who experience suicide then will start the entire life over on the Astral, playing out new choices.

 

We designated Suicides to the 1st Level, but all fragments incarnating will move among the first three Levels during and between lives.

 

Lives that do not end in Suicide tend to move directly into the 2nd, while Suicides tend to move into the 1st.

 

LoriA: can they get stuck there, as well?

 

MEntity: This is because of the attachment to the life.

 

No fragment is ever "stuck," but depending upon the processes necessary for that Personality to heal, it can take quite some time.

 

The reason for those who have exited using Suicide tending to remain in the 1st Level is because that is the easiest for those who were a part of that life, and who remain incarnated, to access that person.

 

This helps contribute to the healing.

 

Once the healing begins, the replaying of the life begins.

 

This is a subject in itself, but that is the basic idea.

 

DavidB: At 5th level Astral, is the anguish experienced more by the individual fragments as they are laid "naked and exposed" to the other members of the Entity, or by the other members of the Entity as they learn all there is to know of everyone else? Are there still harsh judgments to overcome at that stage of evolution? Also, it has been said that Priests "come into their own" on the Astral. Does this usually occur at this stage, helping themselves and others through the difficult 5th level and then healing in the 6th level?

 

MEntity: The difficulty is experienced in both ways. It can be quite terrifying and painful to have everything revealed, and just as terrifying and painful to learn what one did not know while alive.

 

This is especially difficult for those Personalities who were incarnations during the Baby and Young. The Mature and Old Souls eventually lose the interest in dishonesty, secrets, and privacy.

 

The Personalities of Essence who were the most honest, vulnerable, and comfortable with exposure tend to work with those younger Personalities in resolving the shocking revelations.

 

Every Personality of every lifetime is represented as its own identity and speaks for itself, so to speak.

 

Oscar: I wonder if this is then repeated at each merge after that

 

MEntity: What you might experience as great halls are used for these processes, with all of the Personalities organized into tiers of emotional honesty for then working with mediating among all of those who had the most difficult times with those qualities.

 

DavidB: this sounds as much an intra-Essence process as inter-Essence.

 

MEntity: It is often quite upsetting to find out that "best friend sally" had been exploiting you for access to your "loving husband bill" and that you knew none for the better.

 

But all of you will know "everything" at some point.

 

None of this is Karmic, but entirely focused on healing.

 

In terms of Priests, they are the fragments who run these meetings, and help to direct the healing, as they tend to have the greatest extremes of Personalities that range between manipulatively dishonest and painfully honest.

 

Priests quite often have a theme of "knowing what is good for you," or "the highest good," and doing whatever it takes to impose that.

 

Every Role has a part in the processes of the Higher Astral, but it is organized and directed by the Priests.

 

Oscar: How and in what form is the information on the Akashic Plane stored and accessed, and is there a way for us to visualize it?

 

MEntity: We do not know how to describe this, but we can try to describe it in relative terms:

 

We would have to say that it is database that is like an ocean of light that has no form until directly accessed. The closest we can come to describing this to you is in how your own imagination works. Your imagination gives rise to form from an ocean of light, if you will. However, Imagination is not information, and it is emotional.

 

The Akashic Plane behaves in a similar way to imagination, except that it is in response to Thought.

 

That is why it is such a tedious process for learning to access and interpret the data, because if any element of emotion is involved, the data is "tainted" or distorted with imagination, and is not pure information.

 

In much the same way that the Physical Plane must be transcended while diving into the utter profundity of emotions in the Astral, so must the Emotional Plane be transcended while diving into the utter profundity of intellect in the Causal.

 

It is not that one is better or worse than the other, but simply different processes of focus and experience.

 

The way it works for us is that each of you have a "room" here that is your personal part of the Akashic. When we work with you in a way that requires our accessing this, we open that room and it reveals to us the details necessary for us to respond to your questions.

 

Those details are revealed to us in two ways: your way, and our way.

 

We get to see the data in your terms, first, which is often rich with emotional elements. We must then strip the emotional embellishments away from that data to get the most refined and accurate responses delivered to you. The more emotional your questions, the more difficult that process is.

 

This is why your questions about relationships and mate agreements and other desired, longed for, craved, grieved, etc. can be difficult for us to deliver clearly to you. Add to that the fact that as soon as data includes another fragment and his or her data, we have to double the work of that process.

 

Of course, that description is not as complicated as our description sounds, but it is a fair description. On the most basic levels, we can say this:

 

The Akashic Plane of a fragment (instinctive center) or of an entire Universe are simply interfaces for recording, accessing, and interpreting all of the variations on the interference patterns that exist.

 

The actual medium is the medium, itself.

 

DaneHB: Is it possible for higher plane teachers to physically, suddenly manifest without being born on the physical plane? Or is that a myth?

 

MEntity: We have never heard of such a thing.

 

That is not to say that they cannot "appear," but this would be generated from through the lower astral, or the Imagination, and can be just as effective.

 

BrianW: So if consciousness is the gravitational force that holds matter together, what is it that pushes them apart? Astrophysicists have deemed this "dark energy" and "dark matter" in that it is so dark and non-interacting that we don't know anything about it. What is your interpretation of this?

 

MEntity: We must first say that the concept of "dark matter" will eventually be replaced with better terminology and understanding, as it is found to be far more active than suspected. For the sake of working with current terminology and understanding, we will say that it could be said to be the unconscious. Not the subconscious, but the unconscious.

 

And by "unconscious," we simply mean the unformed, and the medium from which form is formed.

 

BrianW: like unrealized potential energy?

 

MEntity: And realized.

 

It is a resource.

 

Kathryn41: In what ways and what type of karma can be resolved on the third level astral that do not require a physical plane experience?

 

MEntity: Any Karma that did not require a body.

 

A Physical Body, that is.

 

Kathryn41: and what would that be?

 

MEntity: Mind Fucking, Betrayal, Emotional Abandonment or Neglect, etc.

 

Philanthropic Inspiration, Emotional Healing, etc.

 

Kathryn41: how would these be resolved?

 

MEntity: Often in quite similar methods as would be used through a Physical Plane body, but simply not actually being Physical.

 

The familiarity of the Physical Plane is replicated as a fairly consistent and large mapping of the Astral for just such things.

 

What we spoke about in the Levels was specific to that 3rd Level, in that once discarnate, further Karma can continue to be burned, but that is not the only Level that can address non-Physical Karma.

 

Some of this happens even as you are incarnated. We know of many of you who have awakened from a rather profound dream of affection and love from some unknown relationship, or have played out scenarios that have no bearing on your current life, but felt like lifetimes lived, or have shared profoundly erotic and intimate moments with a "famous" person that were clearly more than fantasy.

 

These can often be a burning of a ribbon.

 

BrianW: So even after cycling off, there is opportunity to burn off any remaining karma that does not require physical form?

 

MEntity: Often those Karma addressed on the 3rd Level after cycling off are much like "bonus" rounds that both parties had dropped as requiring balance, but are then addressed for the sheer sake of experience.

Hmmmmm.. Over the past few months, I have had three rather intimate dreams with the same celebrity. It makes me wonder if it wasn't mere fantasy and actually karmic-related.

LOL! Well, he is in C1E3, so there's definitely the Cadre Mate connection. I feel a resonance to him because we grew up in Michigan at the same time in the same area and he keeps his Michigan ties. He's always felt like a "friend." I like that when famous people don't forget where they came from! You can take the boy/girl out of Michigan but you can't take the Michigan out of the boy/girl.  (I'm looking at you Madonna, with your fake British accent. You are from Michigan!)

Yeaaaah.... I'm kind of in love with the guy..and my husband knows it. Good thing they are Entity Mates. He can tell Jack all about it when they reunite on the Astral to share secrets!  And LOL about Madonna and her fake accent. I don't even think her ex spoke that eloquently. :)

[Maureen]

I've had (two) groupings of dreams about two celebrities. It turned out one was/is a Heart Link and he was helping me out with some major nurturing work, over a period of time. The other I've spend 78 lives with and he too was helping me work through how I was progressing through a couple of my "needs" via The Nine Needs.

[AnnaD]

Maureen, are you going to tell us who they are? Only if you want to share.

[AnnaD]

Wow!! This is a channelling that I had heard excerpts from but had never read in full. This answers so many queries I had about many things.

Such as the definition of Grand Cycles: for some reason I thought that the Grand Cycle was only valid until 7th level Old physical.  I did not realise the Astral lifetimes and beyond referenced the physical lifetime as a particular species as their "media". I actually don't know what I imagined. Probably not much. 

 

" [MEntity] For simplicity's sake, we can say that all Planes are made of Matter (Energy), and each Plane is a variation on Matter.

[MEntity] The combination of what might be akin to molecules and how they function with one another generates each Plane. And differentiates each Plane.

[MEntity] The consistency among all Planes is based on a set of physics that is reflected in the Physical Plane in many ways." 

 

 

this is familiar and makes sense to me, the differentiation by degree determining how conscious energy shapes matter.

 

[MEntity] We know that each Universe must be a closed "space," if you will, as the patterns that are generated indicated interference patterns, indicating reflection. The patterns are far too consistent not to indicate this, as far as we can see.

[MEntity] Returning to Carbon as the building block, not only are forms within the Physical Plane relevant to the building blocks of Carbon, but so are all forms of consciousness born of, or returning to Tao through, Carbon.

 

Wow. Consistent patterns. 

 

"[MEntity] The 7 Levels of the Physical Plane are the 7 Soul Ages: 5 of which are done before cycling off, and two of which are completed by returning as a reunited entity, and as a representative of Tao. All fragments will move through those 7 Levels of the Physical Plane (7 Soul Ages)."

 

They have explained the 6th and 7th level Physical Soul Age. Returning "Where?" as a reunited entity? Um where? To the physical plane? Seriously, is there an answer to my question? Um and also where? as a representative of the Tao? This is mind blowing stuff.

 

" MEntity] The 3rd Level is where one resides when cycled off.

[MEntity] It is also the level in which one will complete any Karma that did not require Physical incarnation.

[MEntity] The Mid-Astral or 4th Level is what is accessed between lives by fragments as a means for planning and studying and review.

[MEntity] Even if one is on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Levels, this 4th is accessed in ever more refined ways for the evolution of the Essence, and creation of a life.

[MEntity] It is also from which one's guides tend to reside, and where your partially-reunited entity resides. Even if your guide is not cycled off, if acting as a guide, it is functioning through the use of this Level. Or, at least, trying to."

 

Ok. So once one is done with the physical plane, we hang out on the third level Astral. And then when we are planning a physical lifetime, and are incarnate, we hang out on the 4th level Astral? 

 

 

"MEntity] The 5th Level is one of Comprehension, and it is where your Entity members work through full disclosure.

[MEntity] Everything that was never known, kept secret, private, personal, for any Personality is now brought forth as the entity prepares for reunion. This is a chaotic and quite emotional process.

[MEntity] The 6th Level is the Healing, or the actual Reunion process. Though the more chaotic aspects of reunion have been processed, this can actually be even more painful.

[MEntity] The 7th Level then is the full union of the Entity, in terms of its Emotional intimacy.

 

[MEntity] Now that we have united emotionally, we then build a new identity from that."

 

this makes sense. Ugh it sounds painful and full of betrayal, secrets, lies etc.

 

 

MEntity] The reason for those who have exited using Suicide tending to remain in the 1st Level is because that is the easiest for those who were a part of that life, and who remain incarnated, to access that person.

[MEntity] This helps contribute to the healing.

[MEntity] Once the healing begins, the replaying of the life begins.

[MEntity] This is a subject in itself, but that is the basic idea.
 

It is a subject I would love to find more out about. 

 

 

"Question] At 5th level Astral, is the anguish experienced more by the individual fragments as they are laid "naked and exposed" to the other members of the Entity, or by the other members of the Entity as they learn all there is to know of everyone else? Are there still harsh judgments to overcome at that stage of evolution? Also, it has been said that Priests "come into their own" on the Astral. Does this usually occur at this stage, helping themselves and others through the difficult 5th level and then healing in the 6th level?

[MEntity] The difficulty is experienced in both ways. It can be quite terrifying and painful to have everything revealed, and just as terrifying and painful to learn what one did not know while alive.

[MEntity] This is especially difficult for those Personalities who were incarnations during the Baby and Young. The Mature and Old Souls eventually lose the interest in dishonesty, secrets, and privacy."

 

Um does this last comment make sense? We have all been baby and young souls in our physical incarnation, what point is Michael making here? Is it that the realisation that there was happening, all along, particularly in our Baby and Young Soul cycles, revelation and active concealment of betrayal, secrets and lies that we were unaware of and were exploited for because of our innocence? Why not all the soul ages...

 

 

This is an incredible channelling. Thanks for posting this, Janet. 

It is thought provoking. 

 

[Uma]

Thinking about my questions for my next Michael session, I decided to look in the Library here to see what I could find about the Astral Plane, since I'm getting old and thinking of my next phase. I'm really glad I did! I found much more than I can digest at one time. This particular session is really rich and filled with so many answers to questions I've had for a long time. It's wonderful. Thank you, @Janet, Troy and Michael and all who commented.

Once one has become a Fragment, regardless of the return to Tao and the profound oneness that this entails, that unit of consciousness is its own thing "forever."

THIS IS STARTLING TO ME. I didn't realize that, although I never really understood what was meant by 'merging in the Absolute' as was taught in my ashram tradition.

A Grand Cycle is a single journey of separation from Tao, incarnation through a species, and the subsequent return through the 7 Planes.

I recently found out from Michael that this is my 10th Grand Cycle. This really blew me away.

Returning to this session @Maureenthese three quotes were waiting for me in the comment box. I guess I didn't post them the last time I was here because this session is so dense and so packed, I got sidetracked on one thread or another and never came back. I LOVE this session. This was what I was thinking of when I posted in the other thread, about the emotional reunion/reconciliation that takes place, which I never really considered before and which made me stop in my tracks.

I think you should also add the tags "carbon", "dodecaphonic", and "dark matter" for this discussion.  I have looked for "dark matter" related tags before and never found any.  thanks - great discussion, one of my faves

I believe anyone can add tags to a post.  Just click on the little "+" to the right of the current tags and add any relevant not already included tags that you feel should be there.

[ihynz]

I don't see a "+", but thanks

I'm not doubting you but just want to make sure I'm only seeing it because of site moderator status.  Below is a screen capture shot of what I see:

Chrome but this is probably a moderator thing.  I'll go ahead and add those tags you were interested in having there as well.

thanks, Bobby!!

Oh, ok.  I'm not crazy after all then.  It was a "use to be" option :)

This session is very interesting and I recommend it highly. Clearly there are some take-off points for new sessions from this single session. I read it again today because I was searching for information on the 6th and 7th Soul Ages. Here are relevant quotes from this session.

 

On 5/19/2016 at 6:03 PM, Janet said:

The 7 Levels of the Physical Plane are the 7 Soul Ages: 5 of which are done before cycling off, and two of which are completed by returning as a reunited entity, and as a representative of Tao.

 

On 5/19/2016 at 6:03 PM, Janet said:

The high Causal Plane, then, is from where Transcendental Souls incarnate, or the 6th Soul Age.

 

Transcendental Souls incarnate from the 5th, 6th, or 7th Levels of the Causal.

 

Keep in mind that a Transcendental Soul is a single fragment incarnated as a representative of the collective knowledge of the Entity from the Causal.

 

On 5/19/2016 at 6:03 PM, Janet said:

The Mental Plane is the exalted Causal Plane, where direct Intellectual contact is made with Tao.

 

The Messianic Plane is the exalted Astral Plane, where direct Emotional contact is made with Tao.

 

The Buddhic Plane is the exalted Physical Plane, where direct contact is made with Tao, or merging.

 

Infinite Souls incarnate from one of these Planes, when incarnated, and bring the Logos of Truth, Love, or Energy, respectively.

 

There is very little on the site about the 6th and 7th Soul Ages, even as there are numerous sessions dealing with Transcendental and Infinite Souls.

 

In fact, this is the only session I found when seeking info on the 6th and 7th Soul Ages and note that Michael doesn't even say the words "7th Soul Age" about the Infinite Soul, although it is implied from the context here. 

Note: later sessions have made clear that the Infinite Soul does not "incarnate" but rather "manifests," for a limited time, via an incarnate 7th Level Old fragment. 

 

In Troy's Introduction, he says about Soul Ages: "There are 7 Soul Ages to the experiences of living life as a Human being. We will only cover 5 here as they are the most relevant to you in the beginning. There are 2 additional, extraordinary Soul Ages that are experienced after the completion of all of your lifetimes as an individual soul, but we will not cover these in the Basic Teachings." But the final two Soul Ages are not covered in the "Advanced Teachings" portion of the site either. 

 

I rather think we need a general session on the 6th and 7th Soul Ages. 

 

And also:

First, we will state that every Planet has its own Physical, Astral, and Causal Plane. ...

 

The Mental Plane expands to encompass what we will describe as a Galaxy. A Galaxy would be a collection of 49 Planets of Sentience in proximity.

 

The Messianic Plane expands to encompass what we will describe as a Galaxy Group, or 49 Galaxies that house Sentience.

 

The Buddhic Plane is relative to a Galaxy Cluster, or 49 Galaxy Groups.

 

This is very curious, isn't it? If you read my session on Grand Cycles and Organization of Sentience, it's clear that it won't be only humans on "our" Higher Planes. So, it seems our Infinite Souls may have other Sentient experience under their belts than just human.

@Janet, I read your comment and then I went to check out your transcript about Grand Cycles and Organization of Sentience and I got this weird error message 

"Sorry, there is a problem

We could not locate the item you are trying to view.

Error code: PAY TO UNLOCK FORUMS - TOPIC/1"... was that meant to happen? I just thought that I had better ask and clarify that.

What a powerful and amazing session! I always feel so gratified for the numerical and musical references....they help give order and structure to the teaching.

 

I was especially touched by the section on suicides.  My step-son committed suicide in 1995 - he hung himself in our garage and was found the next morning by his Dad, who never recovered from the loss.  In fact, he had heart surgery 6 months later, which I always felt was very telling on an emotional and physical level.  But, reading how the soul will review it's life and look at all the choices it made and could have made both shook me and reassured me - I pray he has found peace.

 

I'll have to save this session...or rather bookmark it.

 

I have also been wondering, how much info there is about Essence in the files.  I've done a few searches but haven't found much.  I do remember Michael saying something tantalizing in one of Petra's or Connor's blog posts about "as Essence ages"...
